Contact Us TodayBoston food companies encounter the CFIA from the export side: lobster, scallops, and processed seafood shipped to Canadian buyers, plus specialty foods sold through Canadian distributors, all move under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations. Your Canadian importer holds the SFC licence, but CFIA scrutiny flows back to the US facility — importers must verify that foreign suppliers deliver food produced under conditions equivalent to Canadian preventive controls, and inspection findings at the border land on your desk.
CFIA does not routinely inspect US plants, but its requirements reach you through your Canadian importer, who must document that your facility applies preventive controls comparable to SFCR expectations. Practically that means supplying your food safety plan, monitoring records, and often a third-party audit report. If your product is rejected or sampled at the border, CFIA can require corrective evidence before shipments resume.
Labelling and documentation more than food safety itself: bilingual English-French labels, Canadian-format nutrition facts tables, correct common names for fish species, and lot coding that supports the importer's traceability obligations. We run a pre-shipment review covering labels, certificates, and the supplier documentation package your Canadian buyer needs to keep their SFC licence in good standing.
